I'm positive for the 1522 vs. 2940, since they both are ``true Adaptec''. I would be negative for any true Adaptec vs. any the-company-that-was-previously-known-as-Future- Domain controller (like the 2920). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
